Sepia Saturday 40

This lovely photograph of Great Grandfather Ashby with Audrey Bull was submitted to Sepia Saturday 39 by Frogmum. It went up rather late (or it might have been an early submission for SS40) so many of you might have missed it : if so you can have a closer look at it by following the link to Frogmum's flickr page. The old photograph has had some re-editing and retouching and, despite its age, it has a delightfully fresh feel about it. I, for one, look forward to seeing more of Frogmum's Sepia Saturday contributions.

On Flickr, on Blogger, on Wordpress or wherever, it matters not. Keep those Sepia Saturday contribution coming in. Sepia Saturday 40 will take place on or around Saturday 11th September 2010. Just post a post and link a link.

Having been a bit late for previous week's Sepia Saturdays, I'm making up for it this week with an early posting. Picked up these cards at a postcard fair recently and knew just the place to share them. Hope you all like them.

Mine is up early : my apologies. As I mentioned last week, we have visitors at the moment and a busy weekend ahead. So even more apologies if I don't manage to get to visit the other participants until after the weekend.

I'M BACK!!i had to vacate my apartment for a while for some renos, and i'm now going crazy changing everything... looks like i've been missing some interesting stuff. i'll be busy this weekend, so i won't be visiting your blogs on sunday, as i usually do, since i'll be involved in another project, my "12 of 12", and ALAN knows what i mean for having seen it before. but i promise, i will check up on everyone next week. don't know if i'll have time to catch up on the past few weeks, but i will certainly look at your latest entry. have a great weekend folks!!:)~HUGZ

A middle-class American couple in the early 60s. That's about as much as I can tell other than his name is Charles. For many of a certain age, Charles will bring a smile as they try to imagine their dad dressed like this and why.

Sorry for posting late - again. I wasn't home yesterday hardly at all. It's been a crazy weekend!! Will blog-hop later tomorrow and catch up with you all :)PS ~ VERY honoured to have been the 'feature' post this week ~ THANKYOU!! :D

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
